west of the immediate i-95 counties. we are looking at northern bucks, northern montgomery, northern and western chester county and up towards the lehigh valley and poconos. in these pink counties this is where the change from rain to wet snow is going to have the biggest impact with at least slushy roads and maybe snow covered roads later today and early tonight. in the advisory area probably just wet roads but poor visibility as that wet snow changeover occurs again ah at some point around midday here. could be earlier this morning in some of those northern and western suburbs but i think we're probably pretty good for the rush hour before we start to see some of that change. so precipitation type today, we are going to see mainly rain in the south. it will be rain eventually changing over to some wet snow with mainly wet roads in the central portion of the region and then mainly snow once we get the changeover after rush hour in those northern and western areas and again that's where we have the biggest impact expected. speaking of which the hardest hit will be the northern and western areas that you see highlighted here. heavy wet snow could pile up on branches and later today or tonight bring them down giving

us some power concerns. the central portion of the region rain will begin to turn to wet snow probably around midday or so. a slushy accumulation is possible but mainly on grassy is your arses faces. take it slow on the roads you're probably okay. down the shore wind gusts to 30 miles an hour, maybe a flake or two but the big issue is just the rain down there. temperatures right now still well above freezing but we are going to see these dip as the day goes on. karen i'll be back with future tracker 6 showing you how this changeover from rain to snow is going to occur and then when it gets out of here. >> all right dave. the roads are a bit wet but that doesn't stop people from driving into each other. as we look live in chadds ford we have an accident here baltimore pike southbound at 202 blocking the right lane. we see police on the scene. looks like one of the vehicles may be getting ready to leigh the scene right now. roads here a little bit wet and we have very light precipitation as well as light volume out there but still a few problems. we have this accident on the pennsylvania turnpike that's involving a tractor-trailer. and they're still out there

doing the cleanup and they're blocking the center lane, the right lane and the shoulder. this is eastbound near fort washington so watch for. that this accident in ambler out here on fairview avenue at rosemont a let's check the schuylkill for you. so far so good on the schuylkill approaching spring garden. eastbound traffic towards center city mostly dry, just a little damp here none delays coming from conshohocken gladwyne or manayunk. you're looking good, matt. >> good to hear. thank you karen. the wintry mix is bound to mess up prethanksgiving day travel. skysky 6 taking a live look at philadelphia international airport. this is hardly the busiest travel day of the year but plenty of people will be using planes, trains and automobiles to get to their seat at the turkey day table. "action news" reporter katherine scott live inside the airport to continue our coverage. hey, katherine. >> reporter: hey, mat, yeah, definitely starting to pick up here activity-wise. people are arriving at the airport and they are hoping they can get out before trouble hits. i did just check the boards for u.s. airways. not seeing any problems on departures at this point but as it gets later and the

weather gets worse, that could change. you can see people are lining up here to check in their bags at terminal c and check their luggage. we're seeing some light rain outside the terminal but no snow yet and passengers that are here now are hoping that holds off as long as possible. before midnight last night airlines had pre-emptively canceled more than 200 flights for today. nearly half of those cancellations were at newark and la guardia. many airlines are waiving change feels for passengers flying today through airports that are in the path of the storm and phl is one of them. we have been speaking to passengers all morning long who booked their flights early in the morning before they even knew about the storm. after all it's already a busy day for travel and they say the earlier you can get out the more mess you can potentially miss. >> always congested and busy holiday weekend and everybody's out and roving around with the weather being bad it makes it twice as hard. >> reporter: so getting out early best thing to do. >> best thing to do is start out early, have a lot of

patience. >> reporter: and that is very good advice for today. back here live in terminal c, you can see the lines are getting longer here after u.s. airways as more and more people are arriving for their flights and because it is already such a busy day, flights were already packed so it's harder to accommodate passengers whose flights get canceled so again the folks here wandering to get out before the storm hits hoping that they can avoid any sort of problems but the best thing to do is check your airline before you led outer. we're live at phl, katherine scott channel6 "action news." >> good luck to everybody who has a flight. we have our eyes on the road right now mobile6 is making its way through new jersey, still on 295 now in gloucester county. you can see still we've got some raindrops but the traffic is looking pretty good. now more than 46 million americans say they will travel 50 miles or more this weekend and many of them will indeed be on the roads and that can get messy as the day goes on. we'll check back in with karen for the very latest on traffic in just a few minutes.

across most the region. most of it is fairly light and nuisance precipitation. you can see that it's highlighted in real light shades of green in some areas north of philadelphia. starting to see the light nuisance rain build n every now and then there's a steadier cell that pops in. this will intensify over the next couple hours and then eventually we get that changeover to let snow. as we take a look outside we have a little bit damp conditions on 95. we showed this to you about an hour ago it didn't look that wet but it is beginning to pick up a little get bit of a glean out there right now. temperatures well above freezing. this is all rain for now, no frozen stuff yet which is exactly the way accuweather portrayed the beginning of this storm. we're down into the upper 30's in allentown and run in redsing, a little cooler up here and this is going to be the first area that changes over to wet snow probably toward the tail end of the rush hour maybe a little later. 48 degrees in philadelphia. we may have to wait until afternoon before the changeover here but it's something we'll be just watching evolve as we go through the day and 45 degrees in sea isle city and down the

boardwalk in ac where we're maining just looking at rain today. here's future tracker 6. 6:30 we're probably still looking at just rain, could start to get steadier especially from philadelphia south and then we get up to 8 o'clock and there's the chance of a changeover up in the poconos and maybe some wet snowflakes beginning to build into places like allentown and reading. i don't expect an immediate horrific change in road conditions up there though. that's just going to be a little bit to talk about. after we get past about 9 or 10 o'clock, though we do have that snow very likely filling in and changing over and then from there on through the rest of the afternoon here's the 2 o'clock view, that snow does occasionally come down close to philadelphia and now this is the latest model impression of what's going to lap. i actually think there could be some wet snow falling in philadelphia after lunchtime and in through the early afternoon. then we get into the latter portion of the day. evening rush hour 6 o'clock you can see how some of this snow with colder air wrapping around behind it departing low pressure system off the coast there is going to start to wrap in a little bit of a changeover to snow south of philadelphia but it's not going to last that long.

by 9 or 10 o'clock tonight we're mainly drying out, maybe there's some leftover sprinkles or a little snow flurry up north. what are we expecting on the ground? still going for in 1 to 3-inch idea in the i-95 corridor but again with temperatures so warm we expect any accumulation to be fairly light and on grassy surfaces for the most part so mainly wet roads. during the afternoon, though, when it's coming down pretty good visibility will be an issue here. as you step up into the northern and western suburbs that's where you could see 3 to 6 inches in here you could get slushy to slippery road conditions. from allentown north to the poconos it could be more and up there i think snow covered roads. so, the farther north and west you go through the region the worse problems you're going to have later today and tonight. mainly wet along i-95 turning slushy in the northern and western suburbs, maybe snow coverage there and big wet snowflakes giving you reduced visibilities. that is thish on our roads today. and in terms of power lines, et cetera, we are looking at heavy wet snow in those northern and western suburbs. wind gusts could go as high as 30, branches could come down, possible power outages in

those northern and western suburbs later today. today we are looking at cloudy skies, rain, wet snow, temperatures will fall and stay in the 30's. you can see how we'll be in the upper to mid 30's through most of the afternoon. although cooler up north. it's all gone as you just saw on future tracker 6 in time for tomorrow's parade but we'll be in the 30's with wind chills in the uner 20's tomorrow. and i apologize. i am doing a little coughing here. your exclusive seven-day forecast we're going for temperatures in the 30's this afternoon. i know we're in the 40's right now but we will see those numbers drop later this morning and then just kind of hold in the mid to upper 30's in philadelphia through the afternoon. in the northern and western suburbs it will be a little bit cooler and of course in those northern and western suburbs we get the changeover to wet snow southeastern and it's more of an impact. tomorrow brisk and chilly 40 on thursday for thanksgiving so it will be cool and then brisk and colds for shoppers on friday, 39. saturday partly sunny skies, 42 degrees, back up into the visits by sunday with some rain possible at night. and then some showers monday morning but drying in the

afternoon and monday and tuesday are actually looking better with highs in the 50's. >> all gravy. >> yes, right. >> thank you david. 5:40 now. trying to keep the peace. another night passes with police standing among protesters in ferguson, missouri and other cities across the country. karen. >> we're looking live here on 309 by english village where traffic is very light and roads just a little damp but i'm going to get you the latest on that accident in chadds ford. new details with that and we have a truck fire happening. that was when "action news" comes right back. >> ♪

opened. roads are a bit damp right here so it is cleared at this point but the roads are damp. an accident that happened here was involving an ambulance. look for that in the area and be careful about some of the wet roads out there. they are just wet but nonetheless some problems out there. we're getting more details about this accident on the pennsylvania turnpike. it is eastbound near fort washington. it involves two tractor-trailers and we're hearing that one of the tractor-trailers went down an embankment. crews are out there right now trying to pull that tractor-trailer out of the embankment and that's why they're blocking the center lane, the right lane and the shoulder because i had been telling you they were blocking -- sorry -- a few lanes out there this morning but we're getting more details on why that's causing so many issues. and i want to pull in if i can our commuter traffic report because i was catching some of the speeds in that area and can you see you're just traveling in the single digits so while the crews are out there trying to repair that, it is causing a problem this morning so you need to be careful with those single digit speeds right now on the pennsylvania turnpike. also in ambler fairview avenue

at rosemont avenue we have a problem there as well. looking back outside we're still checking out baltimore pike right now where things are looking okay at this point and also exton chester county route 100 showing no problems with clear conditions. just be careful for a little bit of the wet conditions. we were talking about that rain overspreading the region. right now it's just rain in philadelphia and you see these temperatures on the mild side, 48 degrees right now matt and tam. >> thanks karen. it was another night of protests in ferguson, missouri and across america. >> now this video that you see behind us is coming to us from oakland, california. that's one of several cities where we saw some serious looting and her damage. meanwhile crowds in ferguson also came face to face with police once again. karen taff travers is live there. she has more on abc's sit down interview with darren wilson. good morning, karen. >> reporter: good morning, tam, good morning matt. it was more quiet and calm last night compared to monday night's violence and chaos. it was a step up in law enforcement. there were seven unnational

guard troops in ferguson on monday, 2200 last night and that may have significantly prevented any escalation in violence. demonstrators gathered overnight at the ferguson police department headquarters. county police used tear gas to disrupt some who burned a police car and there were reports of some vandalism. >> we saw some protesters out there that were really out there for the right reason. unfortunately there seems to be a few people that are bent on i think preventing this from happening in the most ideal way that it possibly could. >> reporter: and the man at the center of this firestorm avenue darren wilson speaking out for the first time exclusively to abc's george stephanopoulos. wilson described what he said was a very physical struggle with michael brown inside his police suv. >> then as i'm holding him i see him coming back around with his left hand and it's in the shape like this and it comes and threw the window and just a solid punch to the right side of my face. >> reporter: you're still sitting there figuring out how did i get out of this. >> yes. the next thing were you how

did i survive. >> reporter: how do you survive. >> i didn't know if i would be able to withstand another hit like that. >> reporter: is there anything you could have done differently that would have prevent they had killing from taking place? >> no. >> reporter: nothing. >> no. >> reporter: in dozens cities large crowds of peaceful demonstrators took to the streets demanding justice for brown. president obama last night in chicago said he had no sympathy for demonstrators who destroyed their own communities. >> i've never seen a civil rights law or a healthcare bill or an immigration bill result because a car got burnt. it happened because people vote. it happened because people mobilized. it happened because people organized. >> reporter: law enforcement officials said overnight that there are still some people here who are intender on violence but the stepped up efforts could lead to sustained calm. reporting live from ferguson, missouri, karen travers channel6 "action news."
